The Pond Saga continues

The remaking of a wildlife pond,my poor old pond gave up the fight a few years ago now, so i had to re line it re stock it with plants and let nature do the rest.Bit disappointing at first , just a midge infested pool, but slowly and surely things started to happen , some newts took up residence and started to lay eggs, and i now have baby newtlets, then a damselfly appeared and started laying eggs, a big old diving beetle also took up residence, hope it doesnt eat baby newts though.So slowly but surely nature has come and inhabited my pond, all i need now is a dragonfly and i shall be happy.

Frogs have also been coming and going ,hopefully the midge larvae will be eaten by something.

More little friends

I am really happy, was sitting out in garden looking  out over my little wild area near the Dyke, heard a gentle plop noise, and what should i see swimming over the ditch , a lovely little watervole, thank goodness they are still

about, was so sad after the trauma of finding two dead baby water voles in the garden last year.
